One of the best shows you can see – the big band is made up of the best musicians in Chicago. With a repertoire of classic and modern big band standards and modern art pieces, Fred Cantu Big Band is one of the hidden gems in the city. Hope to see you there!

I’m happy to share the video we took earlier this month of the Fred Cantu Big Band at Redmond’s. For our tribute to Maynard Ferguson, we were fortunate enough to welcome a very special featured artist, Mark Colby, who played saxophone with Maynard’s band.

Please enjoy our performance, come to our future shows, and pass the word about the band on to your friends and other venues.

I've become a huge fan of Shaw Chicago! The actors, director, supporting staff, and patrons were incredible. The Casino Club was a perfect venue for an incredible dinner, discussion, and sneak-peak of next season. The actors & director did a remarkable job with three excerpts (Shaw, Oscar Wilde) and really made the night for me.
